Do you drive in 4WD High or 4 wheel low?
Without an Auto setting, 4WD High is what you’d use in any situation that’s low-traction but relatively high-speed—a dirt road or snowy paved road. 4WD Low is strictly for slow off-roading or places where torque multiplication would really help you out (like deep sand).
How do I change from 2WD to 4WD?
It’s easy to shift between four-wheel drive (4WD) and two-wheel drive (2WD) in your car….Here’s how.
- Slow your vehicle to a crawl (preferably 1-3 mph).
- Shift your transmission into neutral.
- Turn the transfer control case (the shifter that controls 2WD and 4WD) into its desired position.
- Put the vehicle back in gear.
When to shift from 4 wheel drive to 4 high?
This shift can be accomplished while the vehicle is in motion, called ‘shift on the fly’, although many recommend slowing down under 35 miles-per-hour before moving into 4-high and then keeping the vehicle somewhere between 15-50 miles-per-hour.

Why does my 4 wheel drive not engage?
The transfer case could pose another reason why your 4 wheel drive fails to engage. This could be due to the vehicle not coming to a complete stop to allow it to engage. This is because the splined pin and gears of the actuator need to align 100% with the gears inside the transfer case.
Is there a 4 wheel drive switch on a Ford Ranger?
It’s got an electronic switch in the cabin that has 2wd, 4wd high, 4wd low. When it worked, I would switch into four wheel drive and an indication would display on the dash whether it was in 4×4 high or low. That doesn’t come on when I switch anymore and I can tell that the 4×4 hasn’t engaged.
